Susan from Holmdel, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since July of 2022. This was a replacement rather than a first installation: the old machine came out and a 9 kW generator went in its place, commissioned a month later, feeding the existing indoor ten-circuit transfer switch on a 50-amp connection. Swapping a generator onto an existing switch is the least disruptive version of this work – the circuits already chosen stay chosen, the wiring stays where it is, and what changes is the machine that feeds it. For a 1,200 square foot house against a 6 kW calculation, a 9 kW machine on essential circuits is properly sized rather than merely adequate. Annual maintenance, an extended parts-and-labor warranty and monitoring we manage all sit behind it.
Why Susan chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Holmdel homeowners
What is the difference between essential circuits and whole-house backup?
An essential-circuits system transfers a defined set of circuits through a smaller transfer switch rather than the whole electrical service. It is a deliberate design rather than a lesser one: the circuits that matter during an outage are chosen in advance, and the generator only ever has to carry those.
What is a sediment trap for?
It helps stop foreign material in the gas line from reaching the generator's fuel controls. Where the fuel-gas code and the system configuration call for one, it is fitted, and the maintenance schedule includes inspecting or cleaning it.
How close to the house can a generator sit in Holmdel?
For the air-cooled models covered by the manufacturer's listed installation guidance, the rear of the generator can be as close as eighteen inches to a qualifying structure when every condition of that listing is met. That eighteen inches is a tested installation dimension, not a zoning setback, and a municipality can require more.
